Answer:

The only time Dr. Wilson has interjected any type of personal perspective was from a moralfinancial perspective with fetal demise.Scientism attempts to explain events in a matter of fact manner (Burnett, n.d.). Scientismis void of abstract variables such as spirituality, cultural or religious influences in its definition oflife events. Scientism views itself as the absolute source of knowledge and minimizes othersciences like humanities and philosophy. Scientism may influence the actions of individuals withscientific fact through knowledge gained through the scrutiny of science and explaining lifeexperiences in a physical and or material manner (Burnett, n.d.)Dr. Wilson’s worldview is from a scientism perspective. His expressions of facts on theabnormalities and questionable quality of life of the fetus leaving only one conclusion of fetaldemise as the optimal medical choice.Again, scientism is void of other humanity views or

options as evident in Dr. Wilson’s perspective and options offered to Jessica and Marco (GCUPHI413V Case Study: Fetal Abnormality, n.d.)Aunt Maria: Christianity WorldviewFrom the readings, it is apparent that the worldview of Aunt Maria is from her firmbelief of Christianity. Aunt Maria is seen praying and contacting her pastor for further adviseand interjection. Aunt Maria has also verbalized her stance on to Jessica regarding not utilizingabortion as an option. Further explaining Jessica’s responsibilities as a mother to the fetus andto respect God’s grander plan.The Christian worldview refers to God and the importance of prayer, faith, along with apersonal approach to healthcare with science and technology being a gift from God to furtherhelp benefit God’s creation (Shelly & Miller 2006). Christian worldview also embraces givingsupport to the infirmed and destitute through aid and relief. Christian’s believe in the conceptthat we were created in the image of our father and we all have a duty to ourselves, others andGod to find purpose and the fulfilment of life (Shelly & Miller 2006).Aunt Maria’s worldview is a Christian perspective which is apparent with her view ofprayer, belief in God and God’s overall plan for all of us. Her worldview looks to the fetus as aliving entity and has a place in God’s overall plan. She also believes that Jessica and Marco havean obligation and is accountable to the fetus as its parents and to understand that God has anoverall plan for them all and to love the fetus no matter what its abnormalities may include.
